New insight seems to surface every day regarding the Mark Sanchez–Tim Tebow–Greg McElroy–David Garrard debacle of a quarterback situation in East Rutherford, and one former signal caller says it’s time to stop the charade.

“If there’s going to be competition at the position, it’s not going to come from Tim Tebow,” former Pro Bowler Jeff Garcia told USA Today on Thursday. “Having Tebow there [last season] just became more of a distraction, more of a circus show. Obviously, it’s their decision. But from an outsider looking in, having Tebow there doesn’t bring anything positive. It just brings distraction.”

Tebow did nothing to improve the Jets’ offense last season, which struggled mightily under Sanchez’s control. The team has reportedly been trying to shop Heisman Trophy winner since the day the season ended, but it was actually Sanchez’s name that popped up in the latest trade rumor.

Though New York’s depth chart under center is certainly in need of work, Garcia’s opinion may be a bit biased. He’s spent the last few weeks training Sanchez on the intricacies of the West Coast offense run by new offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, whom Garcia played under in San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Same old, same old.

Just your conventional 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play turned there by the Yankees...

How about Sanchez (aka San-chise) has no game. If McElroy or Garrard can give him competition, Tebow, at least, earns some respect for his Denver work actually winning NFL games. Sanchez's game just pisses me off and I would rather see Tebow lead the team. Sanchez isn't an all star QB and has more excuses than anyone. I'm surprised he hasn't been pulverised by the NY media.

How convenient for Jeff Garcia and Mark Sanchez if Tim Tebow would just go away. Of course Jeff Garcia is pushing Mark Sanchez --- he's been paid during the off-season to do that, help Mark, pull him out of his funk, and try and save his career at the Jets. Meanwhile, Tim Tebow has been working just as hard, there will be a competition, and Tim Tebow absolutely WILL be giving Mr. Sanchez a run for his money. Shame on Jeff Garcia for going to the media and throwing Tim Tebow under the bus before the competition has even begun. It shows no class whatsoever.

Jeff Garcia really didn't understand what was going on with the Jets last year. Sanchez was horrible because, well, Sanchez IS horrible. He makes stupid decisions (like running into the rear end of his center or throwing a ball directly to the opponent's DB). Tebow simply sat on the bench for most of the season. Ironically, Tebow had the best QB rating for the Jets last season. He went 6-for-8 in the air and ran for 106 yard on just 24 attempts.

Tim Tebow has not even had the chance to be competition, because he was not afforded the opportunity to play that much. He did a good job at Denver and he still keeps up his practice regimine. What else can youask for but leadership, heart and the will to strive to be a better player. Someone out there give him a chnce to prove himself. As far as I am concerned he proved himself to me at Denver. Go Tim and Godspeed finding a team that will give you the chance to play.

Jets suck....remember that prediction in 2011 that they would be the best team in NY....What happened....that's right the NY Giants beat the Jets like they were red headed stepchildren...Oh yea and won the Superbowl...Last every true NY knows that the Jets are a has been team, all mouth no class. Probably one reason they don't know what to do with Tebow.

SCREW TIM TEBOW! Kid wasn't the best QB IN Denver which is why they threw him away when they drafted a real QB, and from all you guys saying Tebow never had a chance in New York watch some high ligts from this past season. McElroy deserves the job, Garrard is an experienced vet who could be there at the end of the day. Tebowmania is as dead as Gangnam Style.
